Giants' Shiel named Rising Star nominee

Dylan Shiel has become the fourth Greater Western Sydney player to earn a Rising Star nomination after picking up the award for Round 10.

Shiel turned in an impressive performance in the Giants' 65-point loss to Geelong at Kardinia Park, finishing with 21 possessions, five tackles, three clearances and two goals.

Giants coach Kevin Sheedy said the hard-working Shiel has developed into a key player after featuring in nine of the Giants' 10 games played.

"After an injury interrupted preseason, Dylan has shown the great talent we knew he had when we selected him and he has been one of the keys in our midfield along with Callan Ward, Tom Scully, Stephen Coniglio. Toby Greene and Taylor Adams," Sheedy said.
